FUEL ADDITIVE COULD OFFER FIRST-TIME AIR ACT TEST FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY

July 14, 2006
An effort by a nanotechnology company to seek EPA approval to market an engineered nanomaterial that is believed to improve diesel fuel economy and reduce emissions is being followed by a number of observers who say this application may be a first test of how the Clean Air Act (CAA) applies to engineered nanomaterials. Because the materials are eventually dispersed in engine exhaust, the effort could also serve as an early test of EPA's response to "dispersive" uses of engineered...
